Heya, I just played a game using the Queen's Gambit Refused: Albin Countergambit opening. I do not know the theory behind it, nor have been thinking about using it for the future, for some reason I just played it. It turned out well, but what if he had taken the pawn instead?
Here is a game I played using that opening, which turned out pretty well. But I would have no idea what to do if he had taken either of the pawns.
It worked out pretty well because Black responded to e3 incorrectly. 3.e3 is a sideline but perfectly playable. The main line albin is 3.dxe5. Here are some lines.
d4 seems pretty weird but I guess that is because I don't know the theory behind it. (I was the one playing black, by the way...) @ ICWizard, I think I prefer the position of white in that game but I guess that is how I should play as black next time I'm doing an albin...
